A start ling rumor comes from Holy-
rood, the Castle where Mary, Queen
of Scots lived, and where her son,
James I of England and Yl of Scot¬
land was born. A jutting stone in the
Queen’s apartments, was lately dis¬
covered that sounded hollow. Upon
raising it up, a baby was found, wraj i
ped in a cloth of gold, marked “J. i
Possibly this little skeleton baby may
be the real J: mes; and so London is
all agog with the alarming question:
elf this is the rightful heir, who was
that other baby who sat on the throne?”

gave orders to “make no fuss about

of gold, marked “J.” under the stone,
and it probably lies there still. But
suppose the descendants of the Stuarts
should make a fuss, what a commo¬

The House of Representatives in
Congress has appropriated $1000 to
erect meteorological stations in the
West Indies. Now if they would go
a little farther and make an appropri¬

from its ravages, some good would be
accomplished.
A genuine earthquake occurred in
Colorado Jan. loth. There W0IV
thunderings, the shaking of buildings;
masses of rocks were torn from mouii-

gas were thrown out; the sulphurous
fumes made people sick and caused
birds to drop to the ground; people
were greatly frightened,and animals in
terror ran frantically back and forth,
When the convulsions ceased,the wa-
ters receded and there was the sound
of the rushing of a great river. The
course of the shocks was from the
south towards the north.

Vermont farmers have petitioned
the United States Senate, asking an
increase of duties on onions, cabbages
and other garden truck. Onions can
be raised at a good profit for 50 cents
a bushel; cabbages for 5 cents a piece.
The former retail in most of our large
cities for 10 cents a quart or S3.00 a
bushel; the latter at from 10 to 30
cents each. One would think this a
good profit for the farmer and mer¬
chant. But then, if the manufactu¬
rers of clothing are to be protected
from the foreigner, w hy not the pro¬
ducer of food?

A QUEER CASE.
Once upon a time there was a lit¬
tle girl and her name was Emma Ab¬
bott. She was poor and had only a
.ew friends. But Emma was pretty
mil had a voice more musical than
iii\ song-bird. She grew up to be a
handsome woman, a fine singer, hail
mai y friends all over the world;great
nien am 1 women, nobles,princes,kings
and queens all admired the lovely
Emma, and delighted to hear her
sing. She became very rich and wiili-
al mairied somebody, but no one
k n ms who, because she is called Em*
in i Abbott still.
This little lady understands how to
g *t free advertising better than any¬
body; even the great Barnum can’t
hold a candle to her.
Sometime ago Emma was traveling
in the state of Tennessee; she went
to church; the minister, the eloquent
Dr. Candler, said something she did
not like, so she arose, “spoke right
out in meetin,’ ” and told the Doctor
he was mistaken; her feelings were
hurt, wounded, pained, she was
grieved in her Jeep heart. Then the
pei pie all had great sympathy for Em¬
ma. When they went home they
could talk of nothing else; that holy
Sabbath e\ ening, instead of convers
»ng about the sufferings of a dying
Savior, they talked only of the pangs
*4 the injured singer. The news
spread over the city, over the state,
over the whole country. Columns
filled the newspapers; ministers of
the gospel discussed the affair; even
the greatest preachers in New YTirk,
in London,—and so the opera singer
had the biggest kind of free “ads;”
immense crowds .filled her theaters,
and sheckles flowed into her pockets,
Months passed away and the sweet
singer returns with her troupe to
Tennessee. Her husband had died;
the great Talmago, of Brooklyn had

is sent as a or

the dead husband and the live Tal-
mage united, become a kind of
the Baptist as it were, preceding the
advent of the sweet singer. Arriving
in Memphis, her tenor singer sang an
anthem in church; the minister thank¬
ed hi n in presence of the congrega¬
tion. The next day the pajiers praised
the minister and said he is not a“Pur-
blind Bigot.” The other ministers

I wilLtelFyoirsomething more a-
l)3ut *° uth Georgia. The land down
here is so flat that they put 480 acres
in a lot * Wht>n a farmer wishes to
clear a farm lie elects a spot where
the timber has been removed, and
after fencing it with‘lightwood” rails,
he cuts a ditch 3 feet wide and 2 feet
deep all round it. When he has it thus
drained he grubs up the palmeto roots
and scratches over it with a plowjthen
lie sticks out a few yam slips and lets
it go until next fall, then he turns in
a gang of razor-back hogs, and they
root up the ground so it is in fine
condition for the next year. The sec¬
ond year he*plants it in sugar cane.
The sugar cane is much larger than
our sorghum and the juice is much
sweeter. Instead of planting the
seed like sorghum, he simply plant a
joint of catie, and it soon comes up
and begins to develop. I have seen
canes that were fully developed eight
feet long and frequently containing
half a gallon of juice to the cane.
They grind the cane in a mill and
boil the juice in a large kettle, hold¬
ing from 40 to 00 gallons, 10 barrels
per acre is the average yield syrup,
and it is sold this year at 25 cen:s per
gallon. They also raise the long
staple cotton here which sells at 5
cents per pound in the seed and 20 to
22 cents per pound after it is ginned.
The white people in the rural districts
are typical Georgia crackers. They
come to town in a two wheeled cart
drawn by the “lean and starved ana-
omy” of a wi.e grass steer, or if per¬
chance lie happens to be of the better
sort, the pater familias, bestride an
ancient mule and draws his numerous
progenev and his load of products in
the cart behind him. The “Pater” is
along, lean, skin, looking speciman,
with a skin like parchment, and a
few scrubby whiskers on bis chin,

hungry and never seems to be in a

Jeff Davis is the greatest man since

war between the states. So
for the Georgia cracker. But
you want to have a good time just

REVOLUTION IN bTEKL
MAKING.
Our correspondence from Spring
field, Ohio, foreshadows an industrial
revolution of vast importance to the
South. Bessemer steel lias been made
heretofore in immense estabi s uneiits
but by a new process ten thousand
dollars woitli of machinery will con¬
vert one hundred tons of pig into
steel in a day. It’ the new process
does all that is claimed for it, teel
making will be transferred to the fur¬
naces and will follow them wherever
they can most profitably be operated
-tfiat means to the South. It con¬
ceded that no country on earth offers
for the manufacture of iron such ad¬
vantages as the Piedmont region.
With converters, within the limits of
a few days’ profits, the steel industry
must come South, and come speedily.
This revolution does not depend
on the new invention alone. The
basic process, which can be employed
with no greater outlay, and is adapted
to Southern ores, is controlled by the
Bessemer company, whj have smotb-
ered it in order to delay as long a?
possible the inevitable transfer of
steel making to the South. Tueir
patent expires in four years, and the
circumstances will notT^iduiit of a re—
newal. The}* have retired the pro-
cess, and the basic steel used in this
country lias to be imported from Ger
many. Four years hence the basic
process will begin its revolution in
the South, In the meantime, the
Bookwaltcr process will begin the
revolution where the ores are as low
gptovkcn ..*
comes, we will make anything in the
category of steel, from rails to ra-
zors;—Constitution.

PACKING RUTTER.
I got my idea in packing in brine j
from what I saw thirty years ago in
country store, where they kept a
large tub full of brine, into which
they dumped rolls and pails of but-
er bought from farmers. The butter
was then allowed to stand until it was
packed in firkins. To those who
have had little experience in making
granular butter. I would say, get a
barrel churn or box churn, for it is a
difficult matter to make perfect gran¬
ules in a dash churn or a churn with
paddles in it. When the butter is
found to lie in granules about the size
of wheat, stop churning, draw olf the
buttermilk, then cover the butter with
cold water, move the churn back and
forth a few times- draw off the water
and repeat until the water runs clear
;rom the churn j it is now ready for
putting into the brine. Make a brine
hv boillina that will float an
